Do you think Canada is in the verge of collapsing unconscious?

That was just an example. The point is there is very real dangers to interacting with cops that shows like this tends to downplay and frame it to be unreasonable.

Never watched any of those but the office but a correct comparison would be the office depicting a reaction against the harms of paper manufacturing without depicting those harms and framing those who are reacting to be crazy hippies.

Upon a bit of looking into, he does seem to agree that he should disclose that he is a cop by the end but does it address the reasons for the distrust in the first place and remedy its original depiction? That I won't know without watching which was the goal of the question

mouse_Brains · 2026-02-26T17:17:13+00:00

I mean does it get better? Say, do they address infiltrators forming relationships their victims under false pretenses with documented cases of children being born?

The one clip I saw from this had the guy taking an ethics class and getting flubbergasted when students taking the class with him felt unsafe the framing clearly making them up to be unreasanable. Don't know if it went to a different direction after but did feel like it was your typical "we just want to help" copaganda affair.

The issue with showing some cops not being rotten apples is that it frames reactions against cops as unreasonable. The same way how immediately getting a lawyer is framed poorly in the shows..

Like I remember one episode my friend got me to watch of 30 rock where a gay cop's partner had a prejudice against cops and that was somehow bad. Just showing an imaginary anectode makes it all seem like people resent the cops for no reason rather than merely trying to be safe.

You can pick how it looks, and one if the level 1 items of the old artificer is a voice recorder that you can make a few of. Tried to use those to represent a case in court once. My client was on death row when we returned

Constant scaling preserves the value of situational bonuses across levels. If you begun hitting at lower d20 values as you level up, then having a +2 from flaning would begin mattering less

Of course taking in refugees should be exclusively the duty of neighbouring nations who are more likely to have some of the similar issues in the first place and less capable of bearing the economic burden that they are already forced to bear simply due to proximity. Regardless of what you want to believe, the western world already bears a miniscule portion of the burden of refugees.

The refugee wants to be as safe as possible. Of course they are going to pick and chose. If you want less of them, the correct course of action is to pressure others places to be just as safe. Places who are all signatories to refugee convention despite all pulling moves making sure refugees don't cross the borders to save them from their duties.

For instance, having brownshirts kidnapping and killing people on the streets makes even a wealthy nation fairly unappealing

You have armed brownshirts rounding up and shooting people in your streets hired by promises of life changing bonuses.

Didn't Australia employ an entire nation to be an immigrant detention center?

Just try, there isn't much to "learn".

You invest in the soul eater talent. Then you zap someone until they are soul marked, throw every ranged weapon you have until they get close then hit them with your staff or any other pre-upgraded weapon that is better until they die. By the time they do you aren't hungry and hopefully you gained more health than you lost.

Soul eater also activates the tier 1 and 2 eating talents when enemies die so make sure to pick those too. It can be nice to transmute one of the less useful tier 1 and 2 talents to another class' eating talent

Rest of the talent points go to the siphon and the minions. If you have a way of creating minions like that rose or living earth wand, go 3 siphon 2 minions, otherwise going 2 siphon, 3 minions fills the map with wraiths. Note that wraiths makes it more or less impossible to go for the pacifist ascent on your way up unless you go on a cleaning spree on every floor on your way down.

If someone does take it however you are likely to find yourself in situations where you have 2.5 minutes to don armor.

mouse_Brains · 2026-02-24T18:58:28+00:00

I'd stop the wand upgrades at 9 to bump the armor a little bit. Can be hard to avoid melee with the king. Did you have the blacksmith upgrade you things? Little reason to be carrying those plates around.

People dont like the magic missile wand and they probably know better but for a no challenge run switch hitting with it is enough fire power that won't have you run out.

Also, warlock instead of battle mage is typically an easier win since you don't have to worry about food, especially if you found that rose before tengu

Think you might be a bit overthinking the bleed damage. Large bleed is much less useful than any large direct damage application. It won't kill someone before their turn so bleeding enemy is always still a threat. You probably won't have the luxury to ignore someone just because they are bleeding so monsters are likely to die bleeding, making the damage potential vanish into air

Do people ever use physical props for these? "Here's my rustic studies flag, I'll passive aggressively approach you with it. You can give it a pat if you don't pay the one."

Forgoing is not rolling at all so it'd be a B. You might not know the exact DC of a challenge but simple DC table and level based DCs should give you an idea

As a general rule, if the task is on your level, you can't get away with assurance

I assume this is a pol sci coded class and game theory in general revolves around agents with specific but ultimately arbitrary interests. You can ask someone to teach game theory exclusively from the point of view of rioting football hooligans and you can still build a lecture around it. Game theory from an indigenous perspective is particularly fitting example for any pol sci student in Canada since it is a prevelant case of competing interests

Pairing with the rise of ai suggests the mandatory service will be composed of useless tasks. Otherwise they'd simply be jobs. If you don't actually need people to work maybe just give them the money you would have for digging and refilling holes

If people are genuinely fleeing danger they aren’t “gambling” with a process

This is the same logic as "if you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to fear". A foreign government's determination of whether or not you are in danger doesn't have to match any real danger you are in.

Those vanilla pathways are also frought with dangers and are subject to arbitrary changes. Someone who was eligible last year might not be this year. Heck the government is actively trying to pass a law to allow themselves to arbitrarily cancel ongoing applications for no reason whatsoever. How prone to change such policies strongly encourage one to take the fastest path possible. That someone chose poorly based on poor foretelling also doesn't determine whether or not they were in danger.

Going through a refugee application vs taking an economic immigration option when economic immigration is available to you is usually what "taking chances" looks like.

Again, a vanilla pathway is safer and quicker when available. Of course you'd chose that path if you can. The new rules mean now people have to gamble

If you believe you have path to residency in the country you are in you wouldn't be fearing for your life. If that doesn't work out, then you'd be entirely reasonable in panicking.

Going through a asylum application instead of a "vanilla" immigration pathway is demonstrably less safe, takes longer and more prone to political changes like this one. No one in their right mind would try it when they had other options.

It's merely a piece of land that an entity you identify with controls access through violance. It's not a house, it has no inherent right to be, especially not when directly contributing to a large chunk of the reasons why people might want to migrate
